PREFACE. 



The compiler of this little book, loving 
to hide behind another's thoughts and 
words, sends forth these messages after 
much prayer, trusting, that they will 
feed many hungry hearts and inspire 
many lives to holier purposes and deeds. 

May every day prove the birthday of 
some new blessing, and bring a fuller 
revelation of God's best and highest 
will for all who shall keep step, day by 
day, with these little mileposts on the 
pathway of life, — for His name's sake.

EVERYTHING we ever claim in 
answer to believing prayer must 
come through His mercy and covenant ; 
but we claim them all for this great reason 
— for Jesus' sake. And they are Yea at 
the beginning, and shall be Amen at the 
end ; for we simply claim them and hold 
to them for His sake and in His name. 
He is the surety of our covenant.

THE pre-eminent reason why God re- 
quires faith is because faith is the 
only way through which God Himself 
can have absolute room to work ; for faith 
is just that colorless and simple attitude 
by which man ceases from his own works 
and enters into the work of God.
